The breeze fell upon me on a sunny morning. I was walking towards the streets thinking about Sora and Daichi. What would I make for them today? I thought about Sora and how he was going to bring vanilla beans for me today, I blushed a bit and looked down smiling.

"I can't wait to see them!" I accidentally squeaked out loud.

I quickly skipped away as people looked at me laughing. I shrugged when people started pointing. I ignored it until I heard screams from another road. I ran as fast I could to see what happened.

"Is he okay?!"

"Rush him to a hospital immediately!"

I push through the crowds to see what happened. I stood in shock when I saw Sora's face, unconscious with tears in his eyes while he was holding the vanilla beans I asked for. I dropped down to the ground crying. How could this even happened?! My whole world was blurry. I couldn't think about anything except Sora. I was too devastated to move. Then, I started to hear distant ambulances

"They're coming Sora! You'll be okay I promised!" I held his hand crying.

Suddenly, the ambulances arrived, they took Sora, and drove away while I just buried my head into my arms and started to cry. That's when I heard Daichi's voice when he approached me.

"NAJIKA?!" He looked at me with tears.

"What happened with Sora?!" He asked me nervously.

I didn't say anything, I was too scared. It's my fault I asked him for the vanilla beans I could've just gotten myself. I looked up at his face, scared and swollen eyes.

"H-he.."

"He what?!" He yelled.

"He got in a crash!" I hollered at the top of my lungs, crying.

Daichi stood there, shocked. He didn't say anything, It was completely silent for what it seemed like hours..

A long pause filled our distance between each other.

"your joking.." he finally replied.

"I wish I was.." I whispered under my breath.

Silence filled the room. I look up to his face. He looked miserable, I felt like running away from everything right there and now. It hurts to see that I'm the one who literally ruined everything. I hate this pitiful feeling in my stomach. It hurts. I feel terrified. Finally, Daichi had the confidence to look me in the face and told me,

"We need to go to the hospital right now.."

He put his hand on my shoulder, I could see him trying to hold back his tears with a weary smile.

"Okay..Let's go!" I reply with tears dripping down on my face.

We arrive 10 minutes later, we were silent the whole ride. I hated it so much, but I didn't think about it. Right now I'm focused on Sora. I hurried to the front counter where the ladies were working. I slapped my hands down on the counter,

"Please tell me where Sora Kitazawa room number is!" I frantically say out of breath.

The young woman looked at me with wide eyes, "Room 348 miss."

"Thank you so much miss!" I quickly replied and left as fast as I could.

I look up to the room numbers,

"Room 346..347.."

Finally I look up too see 348. My eyes widened as I go in. There I see Sora. Eyes closed, filled with scars. The weird thing is that he was really peaceful. I never really saw him like that. I slowly walk up to him, put my hand on his scarred face. I couldn't help but look at him. Tears strolled down my face. Suddenly, Daichi comes running in, he dropped his papers, put his hand on his mouth, then dropped to the floor looking hopeless.

"Sora.." he looked down with his watery eyes.

We both stood there, guilty and hurt. Out of nowhere, Sora starts to cough and open his eyes. I ran up to him and looked him in the eye. The doctors rushed in with shock.

"Somethings happening! You must leave." The doctors pushed us out.

"N-no please let them stay" Sora weakly replied.

The doctors quietly listened to him,

"Please excuse us.." both doctors say.

Daichi passes me and looks at Sora with a frown. Sora looks up a bit and starts to laugh weakly.

"What's so funny?!" Daichi screamed at him with tears.

"You care for me..that's the best thing in my so called "life" that happened." Sora smiles and replies to him.

"I actually have to apologize for doing this.." He looks up to me.

"Im sorry Najika..I'm not your flan prince, I lied because I love you and so you could believe me and love me back." Sora starts tearing up while my whole heart falls down on the ground.

"Why would you lie..!?" I cried.

"..."

"I'm sorry.." he starts to cough.

"It's fine..you shouldn't have lied though!" I frantically mumbled.

Daichi told us the doctors needed him so we went outside the room, suddenly, screams and shocks pulled us towards the truth. He was going, he was dying!

"GET THE.."

They stopped screaming, I looked at the heart rate, it was going down. He was dying!

I bust the door open and scream his name, "SORA!!"

The doctors told us we had to leave but I didn't listen, I pushed towards them to see his last breath as he pulled me towards him.

"I'm sorry.." then he was gone.

"Beeeeep!" The heart rate stopped. He was gone..he died!

"Sora..wake up!" I shakily said with tears.

I couldn't believe myself, this had to be a joke. I don't want to believe it. I looked back and saw that Daichi ran out of the room, I ran after him.

I run down the creaking stairs and saw a flash of Daichi running away. I saw him stop at the water, he started venting and yelling and the top of his lungs.

"This isn't fair..!" He pounds on the railways.

I walk up to him and hug him as tight as I could.

"It isn't fair at all!" I started to cry even more.

There we were, crying our eyeballs out. Today was the hardest day to bare in my whole entire life.

The next few days later, we get a phone call from the doctors,

"He's not dead, he's in a severe coma."

I started crying with happiness, I couldn't believe it! He's not dead. I called Daichi as fast as I could and he couldn't believe it. He sighed to himself and I could tell he was crying. We were both shocked and happy at the same time.

We waited months for Sora to wake up. I lost hope, I cried for days. I didn't go to school because of rumors and bullies. I had panic attacks, nightmares, and so much negative thoughts. Until one day, me and Daichi were hanging out and we got a phone call, but this wasn't any other typical phone call. It was Sora himself. We both stared in shock and we answered..

"H-hey..Daichi..?!"

"SORA!" his jaw dropped open and he started crying.

This was the happiest moment in my life, Sora was recovering his memory and he only had faint memories of me. It worried me until I showed him a picture of us. I told him stories. Then he slowly started to remember. I remember I hugged him and told him these exact words,

"Welcome back Sora!"

We both smile and continue our lives, living peacefully and having the best time of our lives!
